I've located a B2710 with FEL, Woods 6' finish mower, 5' tiller, 5' box blade, Mid PTO (no mower), lift boom, and 6' J-tooth drag for $16500. It was purchased in 11/2000 and has 123 hours on it and documented service. I've seen new tractors and equipment at dealers that didn't look this clean.

Should I bite on this one?

Sorry Doc,

I was out of town on business, just returned tonight. I have a graduation party Saturday and am trying to catch up on the yardwork. I will send it along end of weekend if time permits. Sounds like you have a new toy and the time to use it!

Thanks again for your help.

I know what I would do. But it is not what has been suggested (except for Art about the moldboard). I would buy a GOOD used moldboard plow, two bottom. That would get you down below the sod and break everything up really well. Then I would use a 7 shank field cultivator. Everyone around here calls them a tiller. They are real good for working a garden also. Not only will this work, but it would save you some money,

I've seen some dead guys in my time, but none of them had much hydraulic pressure left........<br>

Seriously, what is it and where do I find info on it? Does it work on non-paved surfaces? Hills?

While changing the oil & filter for the first time in my 2210 a couple of weeks ago I noticed some junk in the new oil filter. By junk I mean small steel chips stuck in the thread grooves and a couple of small spiral shaped chips stuck to the last (deepest) thread. They seemed to be leftovers from machining the threads into the filter that were simply never removed. Since oil returns to the engine through the center hole, this crap won’t get caught by the filter until it makes a complete round trip through the engine and back to the filter. I used a deburring tool and tweezers to clean out every bit I could see and completed the oil change.

I didn’t think much more about it until last night when I was putting away the spare filter also bought a couple of weeks ago. It too had chips in the outlet hole so I brought it along to my Deere dealer today thinking I would swap it for a clean one. The parts man checked 4 more #M806418 filters and he looked at a few of the next bigger filters on their shelf and they all had chips stuck somewhere in the area of the outlet threads.

The parts guy said there was nothing he could do and went on to say he thought the factory would laugh at him if he referred this issue to them. I’m a bit fanatical about keeping an engine’s insides clean, so I showed this to the dealership's owner who voiced his concern and said he’ll inform John Deere.

In any event, it would be time well spent to visually inspect any new JD brand filters before you install them. Thankfully bearing surfaces have a soft surface layer to absorb small particles, but the same can’t be said for rings and cylinder walls which could certainly suffer premature wear from steel particles in the oil.

I just found a Long 460, 1985 model at the NH/Kubota dealer. It shows 800+ hours, but who knows if it's accurate. They didn't know much about it and didn't know how to start it! Does this tractor have some hidden secret?
They're asking $4950. Reasonable or rediculous?

Tubeless, from the factory, when we fill them we put tubes in. Some dealers don't and some do, would make a difference of the cost of your purchase.

I've seen posts about an implement called the Grademaster which is used to maintain gravel roads but never seen a post from someone who owned one. Well I went ahead and bought one a couple weeks ago anyway and wanted to let anyone interested know that it is now my favorite implement. I have a 3/4 mile driveway which was covered with pot holes due to all the rain this spring. After a couple passes it looked like a brand new road. You can see a picture at http://www.dansequipment.us/accessories.htm. I purchased mine at Agri Supply in verginia for $769.

I need to replace the engine in a B6100DT. Can any one tell me what engine models will fit? I believe that it has a D650-A. I have seen D722, D750, D850, D905, D950 and others. Do they all share the same block and have different displacements? Any recommended sources for discounted engine parts?

I dont usually see too many of theese but I think they are a pretty slick cartridge. For some reason lately I have seen a lot of 375 '94's out for sale. Any cartridge that tosses a 200 grain slug over 2400 fps is at least a Big bore contender in my book. The beefed up '94 XTR was a nice improvement with the ability to mount a scope on a lever Winchester in the traditional fashion. I think Marlin brough out the 336ER about the same time. Maybe ER stands for Emergency Room because anything that gets smacked with one of theese bad bays is going to be in need of a quick trip there. I think Speer makes bullets for theese still and as far as I know winchester is still the only Factory load. A really nice pick for a Big Bore.

Kasey, as Mark stated the cutters themselves are rated as to the horsepower range they recommend, however, this does NOT take into account the load you will put on them, this is why it is a range. Smaller tractors can run a bigger mower on lighter tasks but you run a very real risk to your equipment trying to do heavy work with an implement that is too big for you unit.

As a rule of thumb you need about 5-6 hp per foot of cutter for average work, as the cutting gets heavier the horsepower required goes up exponentially.

I have seen 25 pto hp units running 7' cutters for years with no problems, but not for any heavy work. Likewise, I have seen 40 pto hp units running 5' bush-hogs where the pto clutch was completely gone in 24 hrs cutting time.

If you're trying to cut fairly heavy grass I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a 5' bush-hog for your machine.

Best of luck.

Just to talk a little fun we had here a few years back, We took a 1466 IH tractor and cranked the torque screw all the way, had 165 when getting to rated RPM and held it to 225 horsepower when at the rated RPM. We did the same with the fuel screw and had the same results just a little more haze on the exhaust. That particular pump will only push to 225 horsepower in it's original state. We have had fun, taken to soft of iron engines and destroyed them with being to tight and installing to big of turbos and destroyed crank and rods. We have spun them to over 5000 rpm and had no failures on some and wouldn't dare to go past 3000 on others for fear of disintegration even on standard fuel delivery systems.

Barney, the down 'n' dirty solution is to takes the blades of the mower and sharpen the back edges. It won't work great, but it will cut grass.

The easiest solution I've seen is to have a 'hanging' gear box made, an old automotive timing chain (but with 2 EQUAL size gears) in a piece of structural tube steel sealed for an oil-bath lube system to convert your unit to a front-facing pto and get a long drive-shaft made. Besides a front-mount mower is WAY nicer to cut with.

Best of luck.

Doc, sorry for the delay in answering, I have been behaving myself so the 'Warden' said I was allowed a couple of days liberty at the cottage.

The carry-all is made by several manufacturers, it is also really easy to make one yourself, even without a welder. Let me know if your interested on the welder-less version.

We use a shop-built platform that bolts to a standard Cat. 1 drawbar. The drum we use is a standard plastic 45 Imperial / 55 US gallon drum which lays sideways, locked into a cradle of strap steel on the platform. The drum has two 'bung' holes already, it is lined up so that the larger one is at the 12 o'clock position. There is a 90 degree elbow screwed into the upper hole for filling the drum. A 6' wide 'boom' made of 1" plastic pipe (drilled every 2") & a 'tee' fitting is screwed into the bottom hole with a valve at the outlet. Open the valve and drive away, gravity does the rest. A hydraulic top-link and the valve setting together allows for flow control if desired.

This setup also makes for REALLY easy application of CaCl on gravel drives too.

Best of luck.
